Startone MK-300 5-stars Reviews

Nice for the price

Overall, this is a good keyboard to start learning on. It is nice that it ships with a power supply.

The keys are responsive, the built-in functions are intuitive, and it offers a lot of flexibility without being too complicated.

I did have one issue initially; when I put batteries in it, it wouldn't power up. One of the positive battery contacts was not contacting the post of the battery. I remedied this by prying up the contacts with a small screwdriver, and it powered up no problem.

It has the two features I really wanted; velocity-sensitive keys and USB MIDI. It would be nice if it had an audio line-in, but that's a small thing.

Another nice feature is how well-designed the stereo speaker system is. If you hit a key on the left, the sound comes more from the left. The same is true for the right and center.

It is also nice that all of the voicings, styles, and such are printed in the instruction manual.

I plugged it into my computer, and it was immediately recognized in Reason, EZKeys, and EZDrummer. Good stuff.

Overall, I am very happy with this keyboard, especially for the price.

Excellent Value

I wanted something that could be a cheap MIDI and standalone keyboard for fun. And this does it very well.

Way better value, IMO, that the alternatives.

Sounds are very good compared to similar sounds in nearest competitors.

The fact that the MIDI worked straight out of the box with no issues is impressive. Even the pitch-bend wheel was identified correctly.

Velocity sensitivity hard to rate, but certainly registers a good range of values via MIDI.

And delivered with UK plug adapter, power supply and even a manual in English.

Feels robust.

Very pleased so far. Beat all my expectations.

Great for the money.

My 8 years old daughter wanted a piano for her birthday. And you know that kids always change their minds. So i didn't want to invest too much in a keyboard.

Still, I wanted to have full-sized and touch-sensitive keys. And honestly, for this price no one else can deliver that!

Without going into details, this keyboard has an amazing amount of features, is very usable and has a lot to offer.

My only complain would be that it looks and feels kinda cheap.

Anyway, great buy! I would always recommend it above any other keyboard at this price range.

Startone Surprise

Bought this as a gift and was very impressed with the quality of the sounds and general specification of the keyboard, the person I bought it for was also very impressed with the keyboard (thankfully!). Compared to a similarly priced Yamaha, this one is superior in every way. With the self accompaniment features and recording, it makes a great first keyboard. It is a little more functional in appearance that the bigger names, but behind the somewhat plain design is a really good keyboard, especially considering the price.
